Taylor Swift – Would’ve, Could’ve, Should’ve

|D     |Em     |G     |D     |

|D                |Em                  |G          |D               |
   If you would’ve blinked then I would’ve, looked away at the first
|D                    |Em              |G          |D               |
 glance, if you tasted poison you could’ve, spit me out at the first
|D                    |Em               |G        |D              |
 chance, if I was some paint did it splatter, on a promising grown
|D                  |Em              |G                 |D              |
 man, and if I was a child, did it matter, if you got to wash your hands

|D   |Em   |G              |D          |
 Oh,          all I used to do was pray
|D                  |Em                 |G              |D   |
 Would’ve, could’ve, should’ve, if you’d never looked my way

                  |G                 |D                       |C                |C   |
I would’ve stayed, on my knees, and I damn sure never would’ve danced with the devil
|G       |D            |C                             |C       |
   At nineteen, and the god’s honest truth is that the pain was
  |G                    |D                   |C               |C        |
heaven, and now that I’m grown, I’m scared of ghosts, memories feel like
  |G                   |D                 |C            |C   |
weapons, and now that I know, I wish you’d left me wondering

|D             |Em                |G        |D            |
   If you never touched me I would’ve, gone along with the
   |D                |Em                     |G        |D              |
righteous, if I never blushed then they could’ve, never whispered about
|D                     |Em               |G              |D           |
 this, and if you never saved me from boredom, I could’ve gone on as I
|D                         |Em        |G                |D                |
 was, but lord, you made me feel important, and then you tried to erase us

|Em   |D   |C                |C          |
 Oh,          you’re a crisis of my faith
|Em                 |D                |C             |C   |
 Would’ve, could’ve, should’ve, if I’d only played it safe

                  |G                 |D                       |C                |C   |
I would’ve stayed, on my knees, and I damn sure never would’ve danced with the devil
|G       |D            |C                             |C       |
   At nineteen, and the god’s honest truth is that the pain was
  |G                    |D                   |C               |C        |
heaven, and now that I’m grown, I’m scared of ghosts, memories feel like
  |G                   |D                 |C            |C   |
weapons, and now that I know, I wish you’d left me wondering

   |G              |D                         |C                |C                       |
God rest my soul, I miss who I used to be, the tomb won’t close, stained glass windows in
|G      |D             |C      |C   |
 my mind,  I regret you all the time
       |G             |D                              |C                   |C              |
I can’t let this go, I fight with you in my sleep, the wound won’t close, I keep on waiting
|G         |D             |C      |C   |
 for a sign,  I regret you all the time
 
  |Em          |D             |C         |C   |
If clarity’s in death then why won’t this die?
|Em              |D                |C      |C   |
 Years of tearing down our banners, you and I
|G             |D                |C           |C    |
 Living for the thrill of hitting you where it hurts
|G              |D           |C       |C    |
 Give me back my girlhood, it was mine first

|G   |D      |C                       |C              |
        And I damn sure never would’ve danced with the
 |G          |D            |C                             |C       |
devil, at nineteen, and the god’s honest truth is that the pain was

heaven, and now that I’m grown, I’m scared of ghosts, memories feel like

weapons, and now that I know, I wish you’d left me wondering

God rest my soul, I miss who I used to be, the tomb won’t close, stained glass windows in
|G      |D             |C      |C   |
 my mind,  I regret you all the time

Oh, god rest my soul, I miss who I used to be, the tomb won’t close, stained glass windows in
